Canada is killing it. We added Nunavut a while ago to make 13 provinces/territories and continue to have a Prime Minister.

Copilot seemed to be a bit better tuned, but I’ve now confused it by misspelling strawberry. Such fun.
One time they told me I had 3 days left to enjoy YouTube with my ad blocker, and then I would have to buy premium, or they would just lock me out of the site. I was like “welp, it had a good run, I guess that’s it for ol’ YouTube.”
But then the 3 days went buy and nothing ever came of it.
That tactic probably did get them some preemptive subscriptions though, unfortunately.
Yeh, if I ever see my TV’s OS I’m like “fuck off! HDMI4!”
Oooh, trains? I am sold.
So they’re either in the “no one wants to buy” situation, with a product that doesn’t quite measure up and a lower price is the incentive to buy, or they reach parity with AMD, and bring the price up to match as well.
Maybe there is a window in between where they’re sacrificing some profit to grow their market share, and regular customers benefit, but I have 0 faith in this economic system.
I’m skeptical about how much another competitor would help…if intel can offer a comparable product, they’ll get right in on the price gouging too. Why wouldn’t they?
After getting the first Shapez free on epic, I might actually pay for this one. It looks very cool.
I’m sure they’ll find something even more problematic to dump money into sooner or later.
Of course it’s not only ai, but the article’s subhead: “Statistics raise concerns that rise in demand for data processing driven by AI could derail climate targets”
Can we just cancel the whole “ai” thing? It was fun for a bit, now it’s just problems.
For the good of everyone, except the ones who are dead. 🤪
Yes good point… naturally “guzzling resources at planet eating rates” is quite expensive.
I’m so not sold on this AI stuff. It just seems like a fancy new way to create problems.
Exactly, which makes the whole endeavour more of a guessing game than a science.
We can’t even measure calories accurately, never mind predicting how much your specific body will actually absorb. Maybe we could be more accurate with vitamins and stuff, but I dunno.
And comments like this show the damage done by such whitewashed reporting. The most documented genocide in history is happening before our eyes and Canadians “don’t have a dog in this fight.”
Note that ‘authoritarian’ tendencies only need to become visible when the people broadly turn against the ruling class. It’s like Ford’s “any colour you want, as long as it’s black.” Sounds like freedom until you start demanding a red one.
The tldr says 2013, but the full article calls it “the first such death in the province since 1989, when tracking began.”
I can’t trust a car no matter how Japanese it is, but… I watched a lil docuseries on dangerous roads, and it seemed like at least 80% of the vehicles (outside of heavy trucks) were Toyota. I dunno if it’s because they’re the most reliable, or because Toyota just has the market in many of these developing countries, but it was interesting.
